Hampton Court has grown from humble beginnings in the 11th
century to one of the finest palaces in the world. Over 800
years of history can be explored through this magnificent
palace whose previous owners include Cardinal Wolsey, Henry
VIII and Elizabeth I.

Visitors are offered an introductory exhibition, a guide
through Tudor kitchens, a costume guide tour, and the
opportunity to see the Queen's state apartments, the King's
apartments and the Wolsey and Georgian rooms. One of the most
impressive sights is the Great Hall, Englands last and greatest
medievel hall, decorated with sumptuous tapestries. Outside you
can try not to get lost in the worlds most famous maze or visit
the Privy garden restored to its 1702 glory.

Refreshments can be found in either the coffee shop,
café or by taking your own picnic.
